וַיֶּאֱהַ֥ב יִצְחָ֛ק אֶת עֵשָׂ֖ו
and,loved Yiʦḩāq/(Isaac) DOM ˊĒsāv
Your translation should not sound like Isaac and Rebekah did not love both of their sons. Rather, they each had their favorite son. Alternate translation: “Isaac loved Esau most,”

כִּי צַ֣יִד בְּפִ֑יו
that/for/because/then/when hunting in/on/at/with,taste,he
Make sure your translation of he liked refers here to Isaac, not Esau. For some languages it is clearer or more natural to put this clause first in this sentence and say, “Isaac liked to eat wild animal/deer meat, so his favorite son was Esau”. Do what is best your language. Alternate translation: “because he liked to eat the meat of wild deer that he hunted,”
וְרִבְקָ֖ה אֹהֶ֥בֶת אֶֽת יַעֲקֹֽב
and,Rebekah loved DOM Yaakob
See how you translated a similar clause earlier in this verse. Alternate translation: “but Rebekah loved Jacob most.”
25:28 The parents each practiced favoritism.
• because: Isaac’s love for Esau was conditioned upon his son’s performance. Rebekah’s love for Jacob was constant and unconditional.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
